Dear Sir or Madam,
Our goods of New Year gifts, Order No. 255, reached here on January 6 and we regret to tell you that we can't accept them. According to our agreement, the goods should have arrived before December 1 for the coming New Year's promotion then. Due to the late delivery, our New Year sales promotion has been seriously affected.
Nevertheless, as you have sent us the goods, what we can do now is to accept them but at a reduction of 40% of the list price.
It would be appreciated if you could give us a prompt answer to solve the problem.
Yours sincerely,
Martha Bates
